For whatever reason, I haven't listened to any samples, yet. But with the early less than stunning reviews, I was a bit worried. Good to know those fears were misplaced.

Not meaning to be the odd one out, but just not my thing.

That's typical Brother Firetribe.

Received my Japanese pressing from CD Japan on Thursday ...... it's been in my CD player quite a bit. This has the potential to be in the run for Album of the Year. I have all the previous BROTHER FIRETRIBE releases on the Japanese pressings and this album is by far superior. I'll explain.....the sound here is much fuller, the production extremely full including orchestration. Their overall sounds actually drifts toward the LEVERAGE vibes this time as opposed to their previous releases. Having the same vocalist in Pekka Heino, there is a blending of elements. Also, the Japanese pressing has a total of 14 tracks, two of which are Japanese bonus. One is an acoustic track and the second is a genuine bonus. More than, just a bonus, a brilliant track worth having. My recommendation is to obtain a Japanese pressing of this CD if you are going to purchase it.......It should be worthwhile!!

I just wish I had your money. All you guys always buying the Japanese pressings: how do you afford it?

I believe it's "Don't Cry for Yesterday"

 

As much as I enjoy the intro and 3 songs after, I really feel the album kicks off with Last Forever.

 

5 - 11 are just fantastic

 

Phantasmagoria is an interesting song to say the least

Do what I do, only by the good albums and not the albums you want to be good. Mine should be arriving soon along with Eclipse and a couple of others.

I already do that, for the most part, but I couldn't afford to always purchase the Japanese pressings.

Not meaning to be the odd one out, but just not my thing.

No, no no. Completely wrong. No way is Brother Tribe "proper AOR." Not a chance. They have a handful of really synth-driven tunes, but even those I'd still not call "AOR." Not to get into this horrific discussion and wishing to completely avoid it, but Brother Firetribe are "too hard" to be proper AOR. Ballsy band - melodic hard rock.

To answer Cure's original question - yes, every song has keyboards in it, so if you dislike keyboards avoid like the plague.

 

That said, they do have a pretty beefy sound....melodic hard rock is pushing it a bit, but I wouldn't call them wimpy AOR.........

Well, this is why this category exists: it's not hard rock I agree, it's not AOR either, but something between, so it's melodic hard rock. The 'melodic' softens the 'hard' adjective, IMO that was the intention. Then BF fits exactly in it.

 

However I admit the name is a bit confusing.

Lol, no, that name is funny. :D

 

The 'melodic hard rock' name for the genre.

Simplest thing to do is not read so much into shitty labels like AOR, melodic rock, melodic hard rock, ball licking - who gives a fuck? Just listen to the music and if you like it, you like it. If not, you don't. I hate stuff like "too AOR" or not heavy enough or too heavy or whatever bollocks one worries about.

 

It's all very, very simple. Are the songs good, or not? If they're good songs, who cares about the rest of it?

 

Rant ended.

Good analysis Geoff.......

 

.to answer some previous questions.......

 

1. I buy Japanese pressings "only" when they contain legitimate bonus tracks and.....they are a release that truly pulls my chain. Otherwise, the mainstream releases satisfy my desires.

 

2. The bonus tracks are "Don't Cry For Yesterday" (The legitimate Bonus) and

For Better or Worse (acoustic version).

 

3. This album WILL NOT appeal to everyone. Some will think it too lame, some hate keyboards, others like heavy riffing etc etc etc......however, for what it is, this is a spectacular release. I, am one of those individuals who truly appreciates an extremely wide range of musical genres from searing heavy metal to the 50's and 60's oldies

    • Another Robert Mason post, but this time I really do feel a connection with it. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but my name is Dustin.  Everybody calls me Dusty, so when I saw the new Warrant album (Rockaholic) featured not only one of my favourite vocalists, but also included a track called Dusty's Revenge, I couldn't believe it. I then find out that it's a concept album about a "Rockaholic" called Dusty. For obvious reasons, I love this album. Here's a couple of tracks.      
    • Harpsichord.    I thought of it and it was random, so there you go.
    • From their FB page: Alcatrazz wish to make the following announcement: Back in late 2020 the brilliant Doogie White came in to help us out with our then already booked live dates after the departure of the previous vocalist (those dates were ultimately postponed to late 2021 due to the Covid lockdowns). We all had a GREAT time...and thus, one thing led to another and before we knew it we had made two fantastic albums and toured considerably in a nearly 4 year period. Now our schedule is getting busier and busier, as is Doogie's with his very fine solo work... and with that, the inevitable clashing of dates in our respective diaries, and needless to say, the impossibility of him being able to be in two places at one time. We remain on very very good terms with Doogie and cannot thank him enough for his contributions to the band, he is very welcome on our stage anytime, as are all past Alcatrazz alumni. Current Warlord vocalist and someone already known to many Alcatrazz fans (as co-producer and also contributing songwriter for Alcatrazz's past 3 albums) Giles Lavery will be stepping up for the 2024 live dates - and with that we will be reintroducing many songs from the Alcatrazz past, including some not played in many years. Giles's first show is 22nd of March in New Orleans, lets all make him feel welcome and please lets also give a massive thank you to our dear friend Doogie White for everything he gave to this band since 2020, he is a true pro and a great person! Doogie has a video message to the fans that we will share later today as well. Jimmy, Gary, Joe, Larry.
    • Maybe it's because I've heard GnR a couple thousand times by now, but I much prefer "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver over "Sweet Child o Mine" at this point in my life.   
    • I'll have to investigate that Durbin. I'd count Striker and Mick Mars among the best metal releases as well now that I think about it. 
    • Haven't picked up Saxon yet, but as far as metal goes, I love the new Durbin album as well.
    • I wasn’t thrilled with the singles as they came out, other than “The Serpent and the King”, but I’ll be damned if they haven’t grown on me while listening to them as part of the cohesive package that is “Invincible Shield”. I broke down and picked up the Target exclusive to get the three bonus tracks, and I enjoy them too. Overall, a damn fine addition to the JP discography. Is it better than “Firepower“? I’m not there yet, but time will tell. 🤔 This one and Saxon have set the bar pretty high for metal this year. 👍
    • Agree with this. Though I think you should check out Firepower. You can get it real cheap new everywhere. It is molten. I'm also enjoying Invincible very much and 2024 new music as a whole.
    • I remember my early days on the internet joining a group on Yahoo (yeah thats how long ago it was) and the woman who created the group was trying to persaude me how great Creed was, so much so that she sent me the first two albums on CD. I had no idea what they sounded like. When I played them all I could think is that they sounded like Pearl Jam, and I fucking hate Pearl Jam. I ended up trading them for something better. I can't remember the ins and outs of it, but I somehow shared my CD collection online and she noticed straight away that the Creed CDs were not listed. She asked me why and I said I sold them as really did not like them, and got something I did like. She never spoke to me again after that
